i i i there to the intersection in Kailua traffic is horrible. So, if you have that"- - -" going off because there's one just before that goes up to Kaloko "- - -" that goes up before this project. So, there will be some impact on traffic. MOORE: Yes, there's no question there's an impact on traffic; Again, we're falling within what's acceptable levels of service based on our traffic study. And again, it is a signalized intersection. It is again what we see this really as taking a lot of pressure off of Hinalani Street. So, instead of having to come out of Kaloko and making a left on Hinalani Street, making a left onto Hinalani and then making a left onto Queen Ka`ahumanu you can came to Kimo Drive. But it won't change the dynamics of this area, and we believe based on our`traffic findings that it is a reasonable level of service. The system will still work very well. SMITH: Maybe if I can add. If you recall, in the last 15 years under the Kenoi administration, they were able to use the ARA funds and construct Ane Keohokalole Highway which took a lot of the traffic off of Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway. And then when Goodfellow Brothers had the DOT project and added those two lanes in each direction for Phase 2 that increase the capacity. So, the TIAR that was done for the project actually shows improvements in levels of service, because there are alternate means of circulation in a north, south directions that were not in place in 2004 when this land originally entitled. MOORE: And again, with the conditions of approval, if this is approved, there will be an added way to get to Kamanu Street through Kanalani Street through the driveway. So, it'll just start broadening out, spreading the traffic out over different alternative routes. YATES: The reason why I was asking that is because now once you have more traffic coming down Kimo Street the light would turn red more often along Queen Ka`ahumanu. So, that's the reason I was asking because now you have Hinalani stop light, then you go not too far from there, then you have Kimo there will have another stoplight and then not too far from there you have Honokahau. So, that's the reason for my question. So, I don't know how that's really going do, and I know about Keohokalole and all of that, but just a question. VITOUSEK: Are there any further questions from Commissioners? If not, can we have a motion? ' KANUHA: I have one question Mike. VITOUSEK: Fire away, yep. KANUHA: This Kanalani Street access obviously I applaud them if they're going to be done with work in August 2022. That will be great. Obviously with Parcel 77 is that driveway going to be put in inclusive of the purchase of that property with the new owners that's been in conversation. Is that going to be part of that Kanalani Street access that goes up to the top of Kamanu? Because I know like you said talking with traffic and whatnot that will alleviate going through Kealakehe Parkway. There's a lot of people that live in Hawaiian Homes, there's a lot of people that live in town and I know that will help a lot with alleviating traffic build up on Hinalani as well as Queen K. That's a question I ask. Is that part of the process? I'm just going 14 EXHIBIT E
